Echoes of the Saddest Song of All

 

Echoes of the Saddest Song of All

Deep in her heart, there plays, the saddest song.

As she silently laments, her lovely homeland gone,

Locked forever, within the lonely ruins, that remain,

As wars wretched song, plays over, and over, again.

Forever present, the dreadful sights, she has seen,

Abruptly woken, in ruins, and destruction dreamed.

Lost in the rubble, amidst the ashes, full of grief,

Wondering why, the worst of man, beyond belief.

And as she wipes, the salty tears, from her cheek,

Their stains, the solemn words, she cannot speak.

Saddened by the road, where in dreams returned,

To a homeland lost, the sombre place still yearned.

Only she, will ever be able, to appreciate the cost,

The pain she bears, the tragedy, the ones she lost.

Thoughts, that will forever abide, within her mind,

Where the tangled spirits, of her past, are entwined.

Ever strong, the feelings for them, burning bright,

Playing sad songs, keeping her, from sleep at night.

As their precious memories, become faded notes,

Heart still broken, for the ones, she loved the most.
